Mercenary

The introduction to The Expedition of Cyrus (Oxford World's Classics, 2005, page xiv), quotes Xenophon saying he had come as philos to Cyrus not as general, company commander or a soldier - ranks whose pay he had described shortly before. That is not in a relationship of "service for cash". In this context is it correct to describe Xenophon as a mercenary?
